Yang Zhi returned to the Pig Killing Alley and said a word, then went to the post station to pick up two blue-maned horses, and left Bianliang overnight to run to Xiapi County; Song Jiang and Song Sanlang are now attacking the Huaiyang Army in Xiapi County, according to the military situation of the Privy Council, it is Song Jiang's army that has the advantage, but Xiapi County is a thousand-year-old city, the city wall is high, and it is the place where the Huaiyang Army hoards military horses, weapons, grain and grass, so it can be defended. Yang Zhixing traveled at night, and when he was tired, he slept in the mountains or villages for a while, and rushed to Xiapi County in two days, and heard the war drums shaking the sky from a distance.

Yang Zhi grabbed a high place to watch, the sun shone on the head of the city of Xiapi, the head of the city was full of people, Song Jiang's rebels had filled a large section of the moat outside the west city gate, launched wave after wave of attacks, and the arrows and arrows on the head of the city were like raindrops, resisting Song Jiang's attack. Yang Zhi found that there were refugees who had escaped from the city on the other side, and when he asked, he learned that Song Jiang's purpose was only to capture Xiapi, in order to obtain food and grass materials, and the people could leave the city safely at other city gates.

Yang Zhi then went around to the south gate, shouted at the city gate, showed the waist card of the Privy Council, and was put into the city, directly to the official office next to the official lake; Cao Cao besieged Pi at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu ordered people to dig the soil in the city to thicken its wall, and then did not fill it back, the excavation place accumulated water into a lake, the official government surrounded the stone as the shore, and built a pavilion in the middle of the lake in many places, this lake was called the official lake by the people, the official government of later generations took a fancy to this plot, and the state and county government were all around the official lake for many years.

Wang Huan, the commander of the Huaiyang army, was in a hurry, and when he heard that the imperial court had sent an envoy to rejoice, he couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw that Yang Zhi was alone; after checking Yang Zhi's official letter and edict, Wang Huan invited Yang Zhi to take a seat and said: "Yang Zhutou, the current offensive and defensive war is just a gimmick, and the real threat is that in the next few days, the local old farmers all say that there is a heavy rain, once Song Sanlang digs the embankment of the Yellow River, Xiapi will be flooded by the river, and the army will have no heart to fight at that time." ”

The officials on the side introduced Yang Zhi to know that in the fifth year of Shaoxi, the Yellow River in Yangwu County burst, the yellow water flowed through Fengqiu, poured into Surabaya, and flowed into the Huai River in the south, and since then the Surabaya in Xiapi has become an important waterway in the lower reaches of the Yellow River; because the yellow water brings a large amount of sediment, the river body is rising day by day, and the flood season often floods, in order to prevent disasters, the government has continuously increased the embankment, and now the embankment of the Yellow River is only less than one meter worse than the city wall.

It's just that Yang Zhi was surprised by Wang Huan's title, not Song Jiang, only Song Sanlang; Yang Zhi asked carefully: "Song Jiang has changed his name?"

Wang Huan laughed, and Zhang Suo, the county commander of Xiabil County, who was sitting on the side, laughed: "It's not that Song Sanlang has changed his name, but there is also a Song Jiang Song Gongming in Chuzhou, who is a well-known local priest, and has been reported by the local people several times. ”

Yang Zhi said: "Please inform Song Jiang and Song Sanlang that tomorrow I will go to the army to read the holy decree, and in the future, I will follow the customs of the villagers and call him Song Sanlang." ”

Everyone laughed, the affairs of the court are like this, since Yang Zhi is here, he is not so anxious, Yang Zhi knows that he can only deal with all kinds of situations in the back by raising his spirits, who knows if Wang Huan and these people have other thoughts; Wang Huan has no objection, let people arrange for Yang Zhi to go to the post house to rest, and he sent someone to inform the rebels. No matter how small Yang Zhi's official position is, he is also the messenger of the Son of Heaven, and the rules that should be talked about still have to be spoken, and it is impossible to prepare corresponding things, bathe, change clothes, and incense.

Wang Huan was not wrong, the current battle was a gimmick, Song Sanlang's army heard that the holy decree was read tomorrow, and immediately collected its troops and retreated; when he learned that the messenger who came was the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, Song Sanlang asked to send the demon king Fan Rui and Jinyan Biao Shien into the city to discuss the details with the government. Yang Zhi learned that he could only praise Song Sanlang for his cunning in his heart, these two people were not Song Sanlang's descendants, even if they were taken hostage by the government and finally killed, it would have no impact on Song Sanlang.

Fan Rui, the Demon King of the Mixed World, knew Yang Zhi, and when they met, it was confirmed that it was Yang Zhi, and the golden eye Biao stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Lord Yang, are you reading the holy decree at the head of the city, or are you in our army?"

Yang Zhi knew the meaning of Shi En's words, and said with a smile: "I can't be the master of this matter, it depends on the meaning of our General Wang and your boss Song Sanlang." ”

Shi En sneered: "We have always wanted to be recognized by the imperial court for the sake of heaven, the previous envoy Xie Shi has always been in our army, Lord Yang will not even be inferior to a literati." ”

Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Your Shi family has a lot of assets in Bianliang and Mengzhou, Shi Gongzi really doesn't care? Shi En stays, Fan Rui, go back and ask Song Sanlang what to do?"

Shi En immediately lost his voice, after he fled, the government raided his family property several times, but Shi Lun lived in the barracks, so he had no assets. Yang Zhi also heard what Wu Song said, so he intimidated Shi En, but Shi En didn't dare to gamble, he just asked for protection in Song Sanlang's army, and Shi En longed for a life of drinking and drinking after Zhao'an.

Fan Rui laughed secretly in his heart, Shi En kicked on the iron plate; Fan Rui returned to the city not long after leaving the city, Song Sanlang chose to go out of the camp to listen to the order, and Yang Zhi did not need to enter Song Sanlang's military camp, but Yang Zhi wanted to go out of the city. Wang Huan deliberately remained silent, Yang Zhi nodded and said, "General Wang, then it's decided." ”

Wang Huan has naturally heard of Yang Zhi's reputation, but he always feels that there is a fake, Wang Huan himself is also from the green forest, and he is not used to people like Yang Zhi in his heart, so he wishes that Yang Zhi would fall on a big heel, and he heard Yang Zhi agree. However, the general judgment and county orders on both sides do not change color, no matter how small Yang Zhi's official position is, it is also an envoy of the Son of Heaven, if he is killed by Song Sanlang outside the city, from Wang Huan onwards, everyone will be convicted.

Yang Zhi only asked a few words about the situation of Song Sanlang's military camp, then went to the post house to rest, gave the steward ten taels of silver, asked them to buy mutton and fat chicken for themselves, scalded a pot of wine, and had a good time; the conditions of the edict were not favorable, and it was not even as good as Xie Shi's edict, but it only pardoned Song Sanlang and others for their crimes, and did not confer official titles, which was clearly deliberate. However, Yang Zhi had already made up his mind in his heart, if Song Sanlang did not accept Zhao'an, as long as he had the opportunity, he would immediately kill Song Sanlang.

The next morning, Yang Zhi took the edict and refused the entourage arranged by Wang Huan, but rode a Qingzong horse selected in the army, and rode out of the city from the west gate. Song Jiang, Song Saburo and other leaders of thirty or forty people, with a thousand elite soldiers, were already waiting outside the city. Song Sanlang was burly than Yang Zhi, with short hair, wearing black armor and a purple cloak. "Read the latest chapter of "Ironium Dragon's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
